Oh, the pressure!

I've flown with DEs and with very experienced instructors. But nothing
prepared me for today. In a new (to me) plane, I was flying with three
other pilots on board.

Yikes!

In fact, it wasn't so bad until it came time to park at our destination.
How four pilots could come up with five different opinions is still leaving
me a little baffled.

Perhaps the scariest moment, though, was when we stopped to pick up two of
the passengers. With four of us to be in a 182, we were a little concerned
about weight. When we asked the two pilots about to join us for their
weights, one answered "...fully clothed".

Now *that's* a solution to W&B problems that I've yet to see on an FAA
written.

Try shooting a non-precision approach with five instrument instructors on
board.

Just remember who's pilot in command. Learn from everyone, but don't let them
make your decisions.

Try shooting a non-precision approach with five knockout blonde instrument
instructors aboard.

Try doing it with *one* on board. Why do you think it took me 72 hours to get my PPC?

This marriage is off to a shaky start. The groom just asked the band to
play "Your cheatin' heart", and the bride just requested "Don't come home
a'drinkin' with lovin' on your mind".

I hate to think how long FIVE would have taken...you'd been completely worn
out.

Kinda hard to get 'em all in a Cessna 150. Might be fun, though.

You'd need some...ah, maybe Crisco oil. Well, yeah, that'd be fun.

The one lady instructor at Seattle Flight Service, Inc during my tenure
would not fill your description.
